Vraiment bon, surtout pour ce prix Vraiment une très bonne surprise : -très bon son ! très ample dans les graves sans aucune exagération et sans devoir ajuster...
Very good preamplifier for the money It is pretty transparent even with the stock OPAs (in my case LM49720). Highly recommended (for the money). It is difficult to...
Clean power. And a lot of it! Sounds perfect with my Arendal 1723 speakers.

Fantastic This thing is crazy. I've never in my life heard a quieter amplifier. Well, the Bryston 6B SST I had was pretty close. But that was a $6000 amplifier (and until now was the best power amp I've ever owned). Holding my ear next to the speakers, the only thing I can hear is a very quiet ticking in the ribbon tweeter from (what I assume) is EM noise in the environment (speakers are Elac Carina). That ticking is inaudible from 5 cm away. The typical amp hum is absolutely non-existent. Listening the music (Beck's Sea Change on SACD) is enlightening. I haven't upgraded my surrounds, which are active Tannoy Reveal 6D speakers. Listening with my ear next to the speaker, and the Tannoys have a distinct sound, while the Purifi-driven Elacs sound like... nothing. Just incredible. I've never heard, in my 20 years as an audiophile, a more neutral speaker+amp combination.
Also, the packaging was exceptional, and if you're a minimalist like me, the amp is just glorious. Sturdy, clean design. Feels great in the hand. Binding posts are so sexy I wish I had a reason to use them more. A flawless amp, and worth every cent. Congratulations Audiophonics (and Purifi)!
* One negative: The courier left the package outside my door. This is not acceptable for a 2k€ item. I mentioned this to Audiophonics, and they replied that they'd report it to the courier. Naturally, this is not entirely their fault, so I didn't consider it when rating the amp.
